July 21, 2006. Size 2.5 to 3mm. This one was kindly identified by Dr. Jindrich Rohacek as a Rachispoda lutosa (Stenhammar, 1855). According to his comment, it's "a common paludicolous species living on mud at water of various kind, also in boggy meadows and other wet habitats". |

It is small fly always siting on the silt altogether with Ephydrids like Parydra? In this case my Sphaeroceridae http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=621&pid=2243#post_2243 is Rachispoda lutosa too? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Nikita, you should ask an expert, moreover, this very depicted specimen is now in your hands  , yet the habitat where it was collected fits just perfectly (remember that bog with lots of Sciomyzidae? P. glabricula was caught somewhere near, too). |

I think yours is too dark and glossy for Rhachispoda. Maybe one of the Leptocera species?

Thank you Paul, but unfortunely I can't share this educated conversation, because I still haven't got Pitkin's Sphaeroceridae key from Royal Entomol Soc Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
